[themousemaster]

cuz its just that good

[knives497]

So much better than the remixes.

[morfork]

fuk this shit is awesome, speaks to me.

[CareyPortnoyBeauford]

i like this version



[jessicadooley100]

that deep emptiness that can be temporarily pacified by food, sex, drama ect. usualy leads to suicide tell me how do you really fill the hollow feeling inside

[DaRkRaIn909]

@jessicadooley100 That Imaginary Thing Called Love

[jessicadooley100]

@DaRkRaIn909

thank you but i have been burnt too many times to believe love does anything but lead to more emptiness

[BreakBen317]

@jessicadooley100 To fill the Hollow you must first accept yourself and even your shadow. Suicide is selfish and pointless. There should always be at least one person who loves you, and that is yourself. Accept your shadow and the Hollow will fill itself. Evolution is filling the Hollow, filling the Hollow is accepting your shadow, accepting your shadow is the key that most cannot achieve. As you can see, I listen to Tool and A Perfect Circle a lot. I recommend you read the book The Secret.

[BreakBen317]

@jessicadooley100 Sorry, you must also be aware of your shadow to fill the Hollow. I don't know if this helps you but, if it did, I'm glad I helped. I highly recommend you read the book "The Secret." It has helped me extremly in life.

[APCFan227]

@jessicadooley100 You're mistaken... INFATUATION is emotionally draining and unfulfilling. Love is different. It's something that you can't live without. Everyone confuses them.

[DaRkRaIn909]

@jessicadooley100 Everything Good has down sides love has many but sometimes it can be exactly what you need you just gotta take the chance of being hurt to find your missing piece

[xsidDviciouss]

this is the only song i want to ever have sex to.

[grumpers2000]

@xsidDviciouss lolz i just got that. funny "fill the hollow"

[tr4nsist0r]

Me: "Hi Mr. Keenan! How are you this awesome?"

Maynard: "Shut up. I'm Maynard James Keenan. I ask the questions around here."

[pullme4itsfate]

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but isn't it "Feed Mee-eee. Fill me up, again!"?

[ChrisMorgan1987]

nope, dude has it right.

[soadfan235]

this settles it, Manyard is a soul reaper!

[MrTyecondrease]

Vagina's are perfect circle...meant for tools.

[Magster219]

The sound quality is pretty good actually, thank you for uploading! Great song!

[GNRrockergirl]

its not thAT bad music quality (: good job

[ahhGroovymangroovy]

I miss this album....need to buy a new copy..I've loved and i've greived with it and without it there is void. =(

[AttilatheThrilla]

I'd Tap That.

[Taylaisagangster]

This song is sexy. Thank goodness for Maynard. <3

[BennettHayes]

My favorite song of all time, there's no other like it! =]

[Taylaisagangster]

@BennettHayes Heck yeah!

[pannekoeken2]

lot of the lyrics are missing, however i dont blame you!

if you look at the live at letterman version youll see even maynard missed some lyrics if you listen closely to the cycles/circles part

[MockStar4Ball]

hahahahah I never noticed that when you see the loading dots that spin in a circle, If you hit one of the up down left or right arrow buttons it will let you play snake (: thats so cool. hahaha

fucking Mynard makes everything amazing!

[karmaofgood]

@MockStar4Ball love it, now I have a reason to become good at snakes, so I don't have to restart the music multiple times

[420sublime100]

The guy who posted this left our some lyrics i notices.. but still a good song.

[lifsucks1]

2 people are suckin the devils dick....

[Philosnav]

does anybody get a woody when the guitar comes in right after Maynard says "screaming?"

[LocomotorPirate]

@Philosnav I get a massive chubby then too, man.

[MeganLeyba]

@Philosnav If I was able to get one I probably would lol :)

[medigarcy]

@Philosnav Nope, I get that when Paz says "pacify"

[highkell]

@Philosnav and I'm a chick! Thats how good that part is.

[themousemaster]

@tammyTOOTSIEPOP i can't belive this was marked as spam just because no one has any morals now.

Good on ya buddy ;)

[back2thefutre]

fart

[thomasArhg]

Well made video, amazing song. Good job man.

[johnny0909000]

constantly consuming, conquer and devour

[MiniNut7]

Poor Maynard, I hope he gets all this taken care f....

[MrBiffi]

first i didnt like this song, then i ve heard it at a friends place, now i cant stop listening.

damn maynard, you scary. :D

[MrVolzy]

When I baught this album it was a tape with no english lyrics, but the song titles were written in both code and english. I used this to translate the entire album's lyrics. Funny but I should have simply bought the CD. HAHA

[rangeyou99]

the dislike bar is the size of justin biebers dick.

[theoperative85]

@rangeyou99 when its hard... lmao.

[kandi61685]

I am.. in LOVE with Maynard.. good job sin.. I've been watching/liking several of your vids tonight.. just in the Maynard kinda mood! And I agree w/ a couple of commentators, that you HAVE to be on a certain kind of level of consciousness to absolutely "get" what Maynard is trying to open up to us... but on the other hand, it can relate to people on so many different levels it's amazing.. Maynard is a fucking mad genius!

[italianmafia0022]

fucking amazing.. maynard is a sav

[usernam4444]

im disturbed by the lack of knowledge of this band in our society. nothing. absolutely NOTHING could ever give the same emotional purges felt through listening to APC and Tool

[TheTrevorGoodchild]

@usernam4444 But that's just the thing mate, you got to be (without sounding too much like a snob) of a certain level of understanding in the first place to "get" this sort of music. Sadly there are a lot of people who don't get it and never will. This music means a lot to me too and it's nice to know there are people out there who have an appreciation on par with me!

[usernam4444]

@TheTrevorGoodchild i admit i phrased that like an upper class douchebag, but come on tell me you dont feel frustration when talking to others about music...

[TheTrevorGoodchild]

@usernam4444 Don't apologise for anything mate, you soounded nothing like the sort :)

And yes I'll agree with your statement. Well the thing about talking to others about music is I avoid it if possible, for this very reason. If I know the person or can see that they have a good grasp I'll always enquire, but otherwise I keep my interests to myself. If only they knew mate, eh?

[usernam4444]

More people know than you think! I found such relief at Burning Man this year. Sure the techno ruled the sound waves, but not at my camp. And I found that ALL of my neighbors were heavy Tool and APC fans. Thats was so great

[Medinapolaris11]

...screaming FFED ME!

i love APC and TooL!!! XD

[ruedsrule]

i'm just going on a limb here, but I think it's about how our society is so preoccupied on sex and having sex and that we do it so much that it's become physically addictive and not just a nice thing. he's also saying that we need to change before it' too late. I don't know for sure though.

[Gothicman1985]

this gave me wood,

vagina stat!

[orion1375]

@splatterdaysaints RESPECT!? its societys ills.ive never done coke, so respect that. y do junkies think their better then everyone? cuz u kicked? bra fuckin vo tird burgalar. try never doin it to begin wit. no one holds my hand in the dark either. clap clap clap, im proud ur no longer disgusting.

[bastardluv]

absolutely great song and lyrics...perfectly captures the feeling of being possessed and overwhelmed by sexual urges when at root there is something more in need.

[ashhole1985]

This song is about a sexual desire paralleled to the consumption of an addict.

Not necessarily a "hungry vagina" LOL

[Shallaan]

An error ocured, please try again later

Why I getting this problem?

[TMassiveTribulation]

Love love LOOOOOOOOOVE this song. <3

[guitargod7772]

people, people. stop trying to figure out tool (and apc) lyrics. it is not intended for that purpose. they write music that can mean multiple things to listeners. you want straight forward lyrics, listen to country lol. im sure that apc wants their music to be open to interpretation, and not just one meaning. this is not directed to anyone inparticular, so please no hate mail lol. just realize that music, especially tool & apc, are for individual interpretation. :) btw, passive is my fav

[Mrmagiccity27]

It might be about trying to fill the hollow void certain people feel. Whether it be with meaningless sex or w.e. else. Just something to get you by so you don't have to face your true feelings for a little while longer (until you get another fix). This might or might not have been caused of traume in earlier life

[Mrsniperbait18]

Im a recovered sex addict i wud go to clubs get hammered and wake up in some wierd places lol

[DeathBullet8]

not that bad music quality... it sounds a little hollow ^^

[MuzikKat69]

This song is about addiction! Cater to the hollow ever consuming ... whatever the addiction may be.Never ending until you are completely consumed.

[SplatterdaySaints]

Thats very true i am a recovered Cocaine addict (no rehab did it on my own with no intervention neither) and also my replacement vice which is crrently alcoholism this song about put me in tears its so fucking true

[SabreMatt311]

@SplatterdaySaints Kicking that white monkey off your back is tough. I know from experience. No rehab or intervention required..same here. RESPECT! I had to hit bottom in order to realize what chaos I was causing. Society labels the addictt as a waste of space, time and money. A predisposed, lethargic attitude like that is what drives a person to go to drugs or alcohol even further. When you are at your worst people only see how fucked up you are..this is where PRIDE comes in. Rise Pheonix

[MoonBabyB]

Yeah, I feel ya there, that's what I always thought it was about....or atleast that's how I interpreted it. Especially since when this came out, I was going through my own struggles with addiction.

[natural570]

i always thought he said "to and through the hollow conscience"

[gsotost]

so then, how do you fill the hollow...?

[parnmkie]

lol i like the song idk if you are talking to me butt ill ancer you :D

[gsotost]

...ehr, it was sorta a rhetorical question. You know, one to ponder on. But feel free to answer I guess. :)

[parnmkie]

ok sorry im a prison that likes to talk to new ppl and lirn about the world throw other eyes sorry if i intruded

[ak47krank]

stick ya finger in?

[eureka396]

sounds like maynards tired of his penis always wanting to play so he wants an orgasm to end all orgasms so he doesnt have to play with it again.

[parnmkie]

i agree with you and this song hits home for me lol ill explain in privet to who ever asks

[eureka396]

over active penis? i know what its like, mine wont leave me alone, it keeps me up at night.

[parnmkie]

lol kinda more like for me i only want 1 girl and nothing els can help butt her and shes far from me atm :(

[kayahern]

narcissist .

[insanegirl96]

2:11 is it screaming or sceaming???

[jdelgap]

that is so funny.... love it when there's an error like that and someone points it out.

[IllustratorofBass]

i belive this song is from the pov of the demond like being a Hollow the anime bleach has them in it

[snookion899]

lmao wow you are dumb

[OKAYLOOK]

Find your Day to Die.

[menteefervescente]

'cause its time to bring the fire down throttle all this indiscretion long enough to edify and permanently fill this hollow screaming feed me here fill me up again temporarily pacifying feed me here fill me up again temporarily pacifying great song!!!

[menteefervescente]

run, desire, run a sexual being run him like a blade to and through the heart, no conscience one motive: cater to the hollow screaming feed me here fill me up again temporarily pacify this hunger that's so cruel libido throw dominoes of indiscretions down falling all around in cycles, in circles constantly consuming, conquering, devour.

[mytearsareyoursdear]

'tis from the p.o.v. of the headless horseman from "Sleepy Hollow."

[TheSalamikid]

Maybe "Hollowman"?

[mytearsareyoursdear]

nah.

[LittleMalloryBug]

Awesome song!

L:

[dreambrew]

Great song!!!

[awesomeboogers]

yo

the lyrics are a little off

[taromie6]

these guys are amazing i have only 3 cds im not sure if theres anymore but they are amazing :P

[karaokekills]

you missed some words

[hyperdrivephase]

ART!!!

[noexisto]

Un nuevo motivo en mi vida para eliminar la indescreción y permanentemente llenar el vacío, Sofía... Te Amo Hija!

[juxtapositioning]

What a way to describe all the people who run there bodies through relationships just to satisfy their neds for intimacy and companionship. Temporarily fill that hollow that makes you do these stupid things with people who just aren't right for you.

[sunkcontrol]

any neds i know need intimacy.if u r a gavin then u r grand.

[juxtapositioning]

Mind explaining wtf this comment means? LOL.

[sunkcontrol]

lol,wot the fuck was i on that night...the mind boggles.

[juxtapositioning]

I saw it, and kinda did this O_O? wtf?

[carbine23]

i'm feeling naughty at the moment r

[sinzorak]

Thats a perfect circle for ya

[gibsonbabyicon]

maynard has such a way with words.

[Twizzlah]

Maynard sings about how he is missing something in his life, and he's using sex to try to fill that void ( the hollow ), but of course we all know that that only temporarily satisfies us, but he uses it until he finds what he really wants.

I hope that helps :3

[Kwristal]

This entire album is ridiculously great! :) Still listen to it in my truck :)

[nj239]

@Kwristal anything jmk does is not great.....it is piss suckin monkey cock full of cum awesome...from apc, tool, and puscifer.

[quutamo87]

AWESOME!! XD
